About GlitterBrain

Welcome GlitterBrains šŸ‘‹

I’m Dr Em – Clinical Psychologist, Behavioural Scientist, and proud neuro-spicy human.

Have you tried the podcasts, read the books and are still struggling? Or have a Pinterest board of ā€œimprove lifeā€ ideas you never actually put into practice? It is a myth that motivation is the problem. The real barriers are:

  • knowing what will help
  • where to start
  • having enough left in the tank to begin.

You’re in the right place.

Many psychology resources are like eating dry cardboard. They’re not designed to hold the squirrel brain attention of people with ADHD or AuDHD.

I heard worrying mis-information from clients who had turned to social media or AI, desperate for support on how to live their best neuro-spicy life. The problem is, most social media influencers are not clinicians or scientists. AI only reflects the information it sees on the internet, which is often wrong. This leads to people trying ā€˜hacks’ that were never likely to work for their brain, yet they felt ashamed and hopless because “nothing works”.

Rather than moaning about the spread of mis-information….. Ok, in addition to moaning about it, I decided to create something different. Something better. Something not just ADHD friendly but custom designed for this population.

GlitterBrain is like a neuroscience lecture crashed into a pantomime to create online courses, resources and videos that help people with ADHD actually take steps towards improving their life. It’s evidence-based psychology with high-dopamine delivery that you can access any time. Real skills, for real life, in doable steps.

I’ve spent 7,000+ hours in therapy rooms supporting people. I’ve studied psychology for 22 years and practiced clinically for over 16 years. I see repeated patterns in what hurts and what helps.

I also live what I teach. Living with ADHD, dyslexia, Irlen syndrome, PMDD and chronic pain means GlitterBrain is built from the inside out.
